Yep, that’s me, threading a needle, using DaVinci, one of the world’s most advanced surgical robots. With Suzi at the helm we filmed a game of Operation with DaVinci, then I had a go. ‘I’ll start you on something easy,’ said Omar, DaVinci’s surgeon operator. ‘You can thread a needle!’. I asked the photographer to include a five pence piece, so you can see just how small DaVinci’s hands are. During the week we filmed for The Gadget Show, DaVinci & Omar performed five operations on real people!

It is a truly spectacular piece of technology. The advancements in technology are truly incredible if not scary! it is just amazing! i would really love to have a go. but i cannot believe how small the hands of it are! they looked a lot larger for some reason when watching suzi play operation on the gadget show! it does leave me wondering, what bit of tech they will come up with next?!

It was amazing to watch and Suzi seemed to ick it up so quickly. Very impressive and I must admit to wanting to punch the guy that ran your car off the track after you finished the race using similar tech.

i work in an operating theatre as a nurse and we have one of these daVinci robots. We use it a lot and it is beginning to look a little tired, we are hoping to get the all new ‘S’ version with an extra arm and hi-def screens and stuff. But times is hard, so the old ‘bot will have to do for now. It is cool to be part of the team that performs these very tricky operations. Star Trek medical bay doesn’t seem so futuristic anymore.
